I, Jiajing, Emperor Longevity

Chapter 20 Yan Song: Look, I'm in a hurry

The wind started at the end of Qingping.

In the morning, the sky was still bright and the air was clear, and the wind was breezy. In the afternoon, there were signs of black clouds overwhelming the city.

Yuxi Palace, Yan Song and his son are here.

Yan Song also gave him a seat, his face full of fear, not pretending, his eyes were dimly looking outside the veil.

Yan Shifan was kneeling outside the veil.

Lu Fang was still busy with his work, first changed the incense on the altar, then picked up a dust whisk and stood beside Jiajing to prevent flying insects from flying in.

"Speak!" Jiajing said impatiently.

It's all bad things that interfere with my practice.

Yan Song had no choice but to speak: "Yan Shifan, what happened to Zhejiang's conversion of rice to mulberry? In front of the emperor, you report the truth."

Yan Shifan's voice came from outside the veil: "I received a report from Zhejiang yesterday evening, saying that the county magistrates of several counties were in a hurry to implement the new policy and did something harmful to the people. Fortunately, there was Hu Butang watching, It wasn't a big deal."

Jiajing said slowly: "It seems that you have ignored my words."

First, Yan Song trembled when he heard this sentence.

Immediately, Yan Shifan's panicked voice came from outside: "Your Majesty! I... I dare not..."

Lu Fang waved the floating dust in his hand: "If there is no five-year period relaxed by His Majesty, wouldn't there be a flood of fields to annex the victims' fields?"

The monarch and his ministers cooperated properly.

Yan Song immediately knelt down from the short pier.

And the wind between the heavens and the earth seemed to suddenly grow stronger, blowing into the gate of the palace from a distance and from all directions with a sharp whistling sound.

The two windows of the Abode were suddenly blown out, and the veil flew from the direction of the main hall to the Abode, revealing Yan Shifan who was kneeling outside the veil.

Lu Fang hurried to the veil floating to the side of Jiajing, grabbed it, and dragged it there.The veil on this side was still fluttering, just passing over the head of Yan Song who was kneeling on the ground, fluttering wildly.

The gate of Yuxi Palace was also rattled by the wind, and the two eunuchs on duty immediately blocked the gate inward.

"Closed! Close the gate of the palace!" Lu Fang shouted in a low voice.

Against the wind, the two eunuchs struggled to close the palace door from the inside out.

"Don't close it." Jiajing said.

"Long Live Lord..." Lu Fang looked at Jiajing while tugging on the veil tightly.

Jiajing: "I said, don't close it."

Lu Fang had no choice but to shout again: "Don't close it, come here and tie the veil tightly."

The two eunuchs on duty held the door and couldn't let go, so they could only shout to the outside of the hall against the sound of the wind: "Come here, two people!"

Immediately, two eunuchs staggered in outside the palace gate, and were blown by the strong wind like flying in.

The two eunuchs grabbed the veil one by one and knelt on the ground. Lu Fang freed her hand and ran a few feet in front of Jiajing to shield him from the wind.

"Don't block me."

Lu Fang could only slowly move towards Jiajing.

The wind was too strong, Jiajing closed his eyes: "In front of the sky, Yan Shifan, you have to answer truthfully."

Yan Shifan knelt there with his back to the wind, opened his eyes wide in panic, and replied loudly: "The emperor is the sky, and I didn't say a single lie."

Strange to say, after Yan Shifan said this, the wind gradually died down, but the sky quickly darkened. It was going to rain.

Jiajing waved his hand slightly, and Lu Fang immediately looked at the two eunuchs who were still kneeling and holding the veil: "It's none of your business here, call the two people next to the door to go out."

"Yes." The two eunuchs tied up the veil, got up quickly, and retreated.He retreated to the door and greeted the two eunuchs and exited the palace door together.

At this moment, there was a burst of lightning, and soon, a muffled thunder rolled over from the distance in the sky.

Jiajing said solemnly: "Yan Shifan, did you hear the thunder?"

Yan Shifan raised his head high: "The sky is above, the emperor is above, if the minister dares to deceive the emperor, Tianlei will kill the minister immediately!"

Immediately after that, there was another flash of lightning, followed by an explosion of thunder, which seemed to explode right outside the gate of the temple!
The torrential rain followed the thunder, and Jiajing looked through the door in the middle of the abode, looking at the sky-like rain curtain outside the main hall with the window on the north wall.

"God has handed over the Kyushu and Wanfang to me, and I am the Son of Heaven, the father of all people."

"A small change of rice into mulberry, what the hell does it look like?"

"Kaihai in the back, there are still stalls in the mu, are you going to force the people to rebel?"

"..."

After making some adjustments, the heavy rain rang outside the hall, but there was a deathly silence inside the hall, and the four of them were silent there.

Soon, Jiajing looked at Yan Song and his son: "The cabinet is still entrusted to you, so what should you do? Remember, open the sea, spread the land into the mu..."

Yan Song and Yan Shifan kowtowed their heads almost at the same time: "Thank you, sir."

The two of them picked up the gauze hat from the ground and put it on again. Yan Shifan stood up quickly, but Yan Song couldn't stand up for a while with his hands on the ground.

Jiajing looked at Yan Shifan: "Help your father up."

"Yes." Yan Shifan walked up to Yan Song a few steps and helped him.

During the torrential rain, Yan Song and his son left Yuxi Palace and got into the carriage.

"father!"

Yan Shifan's cry was almost generous: "You have always shielded the emperor from the wind and rain, but my son has always shielded you from the wind and rain! If you want to kill me, I will be alone, and you will not be involved."

In the carriage, Yan Song, who had his head down, slowly raised his head and looked at his son: "Yan Shifan, let me tell you. There is only one person in the Ming Dynasty who can call the wind and rain, and that is the emperor!"

"There is only one person who can shelter from the wind and rain, and that is me, not you!"

"You and the people you use don't have anyone to shield me from the wind and rain, they are all provoking the wind and rain! I have shielded the wind and rain called by the emperor for 20 years, and no one can shield you from the wind and rain you provoked."

"father!"

Yan Shifan wiped the rain from his body: "Others have a way out, but my son has no way out!"

"Hu Zongxian and we are not in the same way, so don't count on him. Zhang Juzheng has already shown his minions, and he will eat us sooner or later... What do you want your son to do? The son can only go one way... The big deal is that he will be smashed to pieces!"

"Look, I'm in a hurry!"

Yan Song sighed slightly, he had been engaged in politics all his life, how could Elder Ge not know about his son's difficulties.

Many people think that in the play, Yan Shifan has no grounds for changing rice to mulberry. He is in a mess and his level is poor.Again, let’s look at it from Yan Shifan’s perspective.

First of all, changing rice to mulberry can be said to be a life-and-death battle for the strict party.If it is done, the strict party can survive for a few years, if it fails, it will immediately fall, and Yan Shifan will be the number one sinner.

Secondly, Yan Shifan is the actual leader of the Yan Party, and the actual person in charge of Changedao to Sang.

Third, the transformation of rice into mulberry must rely on the strict party to actually complete it.

From this we can deduce Yan Shifan's logical chain: Changing rice to mulberry is a matter of my life, and it must be done. The group of friends in Zhejiang who eat my food must do it with all their strength, and I will take care of whoever does not work hard. .

But now, although changing rice to mulberry is only a secondary policy of the imperial court, Hu Zongxian presided over the opening of the sea, and Zhang Juzheng presided over the opening of the sea, and Zhang Juzheng presided over the two major changes related to the future of Ming Dynasty. What use is Yan Shifan to the emperor?

Useless people will be kicked away by the emperor sooner or later.

The emperor is ruthless!
But Yan Ge looked at the problem from a different angle. He showed an expression of resentment: "Hu Zongxian will always be my man, and Zhang Juzheng is also my man now, because I am the chief assistant. No matter what achievements he has made , both of you and I have a share of the credit. But first of all, don't spoil the Emperor and Daming..."

"Zhejiang changed rice to mulberry. The emperor has clearly stated a five-year period on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. What are you anxious about?"

"Look, is the emperor short of money now?"

"Even if you are short of silver, you can sell your property... What is silver?"

"Haven't you heard? The emperor has gained the Tao!!!"
